Significant artivities In planning the charity's activities, the tru5tee5 have had regarded the Charity Commission, guidance on public benefit. As we emerged from the period of Covid-19, we con¢entrated our efforts this year on re-building our activities and community engagernent. One tsf the highlights of the year came in July as we welcomed newly ord3ined Rabbi DY Stern as assistant to Rabbi Paul Freedman. In November, we held an induction ceremony for him when the Synagogue hosted the mayor and other leaders of Hertsmere Council. as well as leader5 of the local faith communities. Our Cheder and B'nei Mitzvah programmes returned to face-to-f3ce teaching this year. with a growing rhumber of young people participating in these courses. both as students and as helpers. Our Youth Programme includes family seryices. activities at every festival. regular Shabbat services and help at summer camps and occasional Teens, aubs. Our Community Support work has never been more important_ Member5 have access to the rabbi5. our Community support worker and her team of volunteers_ Together they offer an extensive range of service5. help and support for many issues including financial hardship. domestic abuse. mental health problems and bereavement. From December 2021. together with other bcal public venues. we were very proud to open the doors to the whole community 35 a 'Warm Space"; a provision for people struggling with the cost-of-INing crisi5. The Synagogue hosts other regular activities including 8eavers. Cubs, Scouts. brid8e dubs. Pins and Needles Group. table tennis and Thursday Club for our senior members. We are so grateful for the hard work of all our staff and the large number of volunteers.

The total raised was £20,959 Icompared to £15.900 in 20211. These figures are inclusive of tax refund5 on the donations. Achievements The achievements of the year owe much to the efforts of a very large number of people who give their time paid and unpaid to the Community. Thanks goes to Rabbis Paul Freedman and DY Stefn who have been very dedicated to en5urin8 that the needs of the Cornmunity remain prioritised in the absence of further Clergy. Thanks also to our very dedicated office staff, teaching staff and caretakers. We are. however. very much a volunteer organisation. and we are indebted to a great many people. those on the Executive Committee and 8oard and many other5 too numeroLtS to name here. who have given up their time to further the artivities of the ¢ommunity. The Synagogue will continue to go from strength to strength and aims to be a beacon for Reform Jewish life in South Hertfordshire and ensvrin8 that the community remains true to its values of caring for each of its members a5 they pass along their Jewish journey. Radlett Refomi Synagogue is the community for South Hertfordshire. FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial p051tion and future plans The Trustees report an overall profit for the year amounting to £27,5W12021.. £84.0701. The principal source of funding is subscription income. which increased by 3.0%12021.. decreased by 1.2%). We are constantly endeavouring to maintain and ideally irnprove our collection rate, however, as expected this has become more difficu during recent years. Oncè again, a number of members were unable to pay their subscriptions in full during the year due to adverse personal circumstsnces. The Synagogue's policy for colleciing subscriptions where we are made aware of circumstances of financial difficulty. is that we are as helpful a5 we can be. Most rnember5 Pav their subscriptions through Gift Aid. We are aware that members who are higher rate taxpayer5 could retover more tax than standard rate taxpayers. This gives rise to an anomaly that member5, who mi8ht be presumed to be better off. end up paying less. We coritinve to addres5 this anomaly by asking higher rate taxpayers to pay a subscription donation that. after the recovery of tax, means that they and standard rate taxpayers pay the same nei amount. At the 2022 AGM. it wès resolved th3t Nagler Simmons be reaptM)inted auditors on a fee-paying basis. Page 2

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurancè abtsut whèther the financial statements as a whole are free from material mi5Staternent, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a matertal misstatement when it exists. Mi55tatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the ba515 of these financial 5talements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud is detailed below= Explanatygn •$ to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities. including Iraud The objective5 of our audit in respect of fraud. are,. to Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud,- to obtain sufficient 3ppropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud. through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks.. and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or sv5pected fraud identified during the avdit. However. the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governan¢e of the company. Our approach was as follows= We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charitable company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2CQ6, Charitie5 Act 2011, International Financial Reportin8 Standards, and UK taxation legislation. We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance. We assessed the risk of material mi55tatement of the financial statemènts, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how rt might occur. by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance. We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations. Based on this understandin& we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquirie5 of management and those harged wrth governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUKI we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also-. Page 10
